What gets me is that this was a place filled with life... in the 50's and 60's...workers doing their jobs, kids going to school...the apartments... now all empty and deserted. One can imagine being there at night...do the ghosts come? so sad that it's deserted and falling in to ruin. Cold and dark.

I know someone who camped on Hashima overnight. But they started a campfire and almost were caught when patrols noticed the smoke and landed on the island to check lol.

Fantastic footage! I'm trying to recreate this island in a game, and this video has helped greatly for the inner details

I'm glad you arrived at my video for the non-fiction version of Hashima's visuals and history. My video was filmed in 2011 but the island hasn't changed much apart from further deterioration.

Nice job Chris. The video lis not stabilized, but looks HD. Amazing raw video.

Thanks! I tried some stabilizing plugins but didn't like the effect, so I left the footage as it was filmed, apart from upscaling. I'm going to offer it to the Gunkanjima Digital Museum for historical purposes. Maybe, in exchange, I'll ask for another landing on the island!

I wish videos like this existed for the Walled City of Kowloon.

Story time! The taller woman in the video returned a year later with a group to camp overnight. But they made a critical mistake by starting a campfire and patrols somehow noticed the smoke plume! They searched the island but fortunately the fools evaded capture. 😂

Can you go back here every 5 years and compare the changes and how the vegetation takes over the island??

Hey Chris, just wondering how much did you have to pay to do this?. And how did you set this up? I’ve been wanting to visit hashima for a few years now and think it’s about time i do it.

This trip was 13 years ago, and my last one was 10 years ago, so most of my intel is obsolete. Many changes occurred after Hashima was awarded UNESCO status in 2015, including cameras and sensors being set up at various points around the island.

It is my dream to go here one day, is it much more difficult in recent times to sneak onto the island nowadays?

It’s significantly more challenging in the post-UNESCO era to get to the off-limits areas of Hashima. Officials placed sensors and cameras all over the island.

Are there videos of when this island was inhabited? Mining videos?

@chrisluckhardt

8 ай бұрын

I’ve seen archival footage on Getty Images showing the island before it was abandoned in 1974. And I recall the Gunkanjima Digital Museum having mining footage.

So like, did the people in an anger state completely destroy the place before leaving? Or is it that nature (earthquakes, heavy rain etc) ruined this place? I know typhoons caused damage but that doesn't explain the rubble in other parts of the buildings not near the water.

@chrisluckhardt

5 ай бұрын

Excellent question! What you're seeing is 40+ years of natural decay after the island was vacated, earthquake damage, and weather events (e.g., regular weather and typhoons). Also, the island's population began declining in the 1960s as the mines were closing, so many buildings were unmaintained. Also, the Japanese rarely vandalize buildings and other structures. For example, no looting or vandalism occurred in the abandoned towns after the Fukushima disaster.

Why were all the doors and windows removed?

@chrisluckhardt

4 ай бұрын

The doors and windows weren't removed. They were damaged or broken from four decades of neglect after damage from storms and winds. Most of the wood strewn about on the ground is from wooden doors, wooden window frames, and wooden railings.

Forced labour occurred on Hashima Island during Japan’s colonial years (1910-45). And it occurred more toward those later years. Chinese, Korean, and Taiwanese POWs were forced and paid to work in the mines and 7 other industrial sites. Korea claims approximately 1300 workers were forced labourers and Japan claims a lower number. The island’s peak population was 5259 in 1959. (Edited to correct a typo.)
